Topic category: Collaborations and mod teams
Hi I've been designing for years, various projects for jewellery and silverware and other non Minecraft stuff but after being let go from my last non design job I want to get a role which I can do remotely and help bring new capabilities to Minecraft mods. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of design and I've managed to do this with some addon concepts. I'd really like to be a concept designer within a mod team. As someone who has worked in retail for over a decade, I enjoy getting to the route of problems and providing a solution by asking questions and expanding out what the vision or goal of the customer is. With designing for clients I used similar techniques discovering what the client was seeking in their design vision; I feel I can use this type of investigative technique to gain good understanding of what the client in mod design is seeking to then map out a concept, give concept art and show the workings of the addon to then present to the team and create mods which will stand out of the general population of Minecraft mods.
As a Minecraft player I'm a builder at heart but as a designer I enjoy the lore or backstory of a concept I also enjoy unique aspects in gameplay I'll post a couple of small concept ideas that I've got mapped out (about 90% complete); as the other ideas I have are large concepts with massive development opportunities which I would rather keep to myself until I'm working within a mod team to avoid plagerisim or concept stealing; giving the mod team the opertunity to build something unique and generate income from the concepts
QR Coder addon
This is a simple idea to link up on Minecraft
so if you have a server or a realm and want to link up a build you have created to let others see where you found the design or if you have an addon and want to show other players who made the addon and other add-ons they created you can via a QR code in game by scanning your screen with your smart phone or tablet, you can be surfing the web directly to a page relevant to the place you are standing in game.
So what is it?
it's a generator for QR codes, it is a QR coder block which players click and an input box is presented, it gives you an input to the website and a colour choice of the QR codes you want to generate it also gives options to the framing of your QR code to be place into your world as an item for an item frame placed like a map
I have tested the concept out by building a large QRcode in game placing it in as an actual map and I can confirm it works the tech difficulty is only in the coding from what I understand as it pushes boundaries from Minecraft coding to Real world interaction outside the Minecraft world
So who would use this addon?
It's a unique addon which would appeal to Minecraft realm and server owners who wish to link up websites in their Minecraft world. Minecraft YouTubers and streamers linking to there merch stores, mod developers who wish to advertise their creations online via videos and for teaching lessons through Minecraft, build guide videos or dual world gameplay (problem solving outside Minecraft with website to then input an answer or code to a chest to open it) the possibilities of use are large in application and the addon brings new capabilities to Minecraft
